Nigeria U-17 To Face Mexico In The Final Of The FIFA U-17 World Cup

The Golden Eaglets this evening defeated Sweden 3-0 in the second semi-finals of the ongoing FIFA U-17 World Cup in Dubai, to reach the finals of the competition, where they will face Mexico.

Awoniyi opened scoring in the 21st minute, running onto to Iheanacho's delicately lofted through ball and finishing calmly past the goalkeeper. The Nigerians had a legitimate goal disallowed, although replays showed that Yahaya was level.

That did not hinder Manu Garba's boys, from netting a quickfire double to ensure Nigeria qualified for the final. Okon cut in from the left and doubled the lead, before Ezeh got his goal in the 82nd minute.
